Koo Taylor Automobile Side Visor

ABSTRACT

This automobile devise is a Rectangular Box, hereafter referred to as the Box. The Box is designed to protect the automobile vehicle driver and the front seat passenger from the sun&#39;s glare and heat when the sun is on either side of the vehicle. The devise blocks the glare and heat from penetrating the sides of the vehicle. The Box has four inside panels. The Box also has an opening on one of the elongated sides. These panels are extended from the Box through the opening to provide protection from the sun&#39;s glare and heat. Two of the panels are pulled out towards the front of the vehicle. The remaining two panels are enclosed in the first two panels and may be pulled down. The Box has a back portion that has a mount which is attached inside the automobile. It is attached to the middle pillar, also known as Door Pillar, between the two side doors, just above the seat belt buckle. The Box comes in two configurations. The first configuration is for the Driver side. The second configuration is for the front seat Passenger side.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The current sun visors in automobiles work well to shade and protect the driver as well as the front seat passenger from the sun's glare and heat when the vehicle is being driven in the direction of the sun. However, the visors don't offer complete protection to the driver or the front seat passenger when the sun's glare and heat are coming from either side of the vehicle through the side windows. Although the two current front visors commonly found in automobile vehicles today can be rotated downwards or sideways to cover part of the side windows, and many of these front visors have panels that can be pulled out towards the back of the vehicle to provide more protection, the extended visors do not cover the entire upper part of the side windows.

The proposed device is unique. It is unique because unlike the innovations to the automobile visor currently on the market, and those referenced below*, along with those incorporated by the referenced inventions, this proposed visor is not mounted or attached to the existing front visor or to the windshield, or to the side window, or between the side window and the window weather stripping. It is also not attached to the front roof or the pillar holding the windshield. *References
